To be fair- one of the interesting things about TikTok is how it rewards good commenting. It seems to bury negative commentary and reward positive commentary with the result that the comment field is generally some combination of genuinely insightful and hilarious.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen any good comment on TikTok. The most liked top comments are always one liner brainrot. Might be funny on the first time, but after seeing the same types of comments over and over get pretty exhausting

TikTok comments are literally bottom of the barrel, worse than any platform I know of, way below YouTube and even X. It's a cesspool.

In my experience, Instagram's comments are the worst of the worst. Can't speak on X though, since I don't use it.
